Gas safety check question from a Scottish tenant

Posts: 1,148 Forumite
I moved here end of May last year, I have never once seen a gas safety certificate, so its about 3 and a half months at most one is due, I just worry a little since LL put the boiler in themselves but they do it for a living anyway but in some ways that makes me worry more.
Shall I just ask LL about it now saying I never found one in property when I moved in?

You should have received a copy of the GSC at the start of your tenancy and on, or before, the anniversary of the date the previous GSC was issued.
There's not an issue with your LL installing the boiler himself as long as he is a Gas Safe Registered Engineeer. You can check here to see if he is.

Do you have a working carbon monoxide detector in your home?0 -
Write to the LL/LA as ask for a copy of the safety certificate. I second getting a carbon monoxide alarm. You can get a battery operated one for £15 from screwfix.

Personally, if I were a LL was a Gas Safe registration, I still wouldn't issue a certificate for my own property. But it's probably okay from a legal point of view."Real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance" - Confucius0
